Preethi Shah answered |
National parties are political parties that have units in various states of a country. These parties are recognized by the Election Commission of India based on their performance in the Lok Sabha or Vidhan Sabha elections. In India, the national parties are the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Indian National Congress (INC), Communist Party of India (CPI), and Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM).
Importance of National Parties
National parties play a vital role in the politics of a country. Some of the reasons why they are important are as follows:
1. Representation: National parties represent the interests of people from different states and regions. They have a broader outlook and are more inclusive in their approach.
2. National Agenda: National parties are better equipped to formulate a national agenda and policies that can benefit the entire nation.
3. Electoral Performance: National parties have a better chance of winning elections due to their presence in multiple states. This gives them a wider voter base and more resources to contest elections.
4. Ideology: National parties have a clear ideology and vision for the country. This helps them to differentiate themselves from regional parties and gain the trust of voters.
Conclusion
National parties are an important component of the political landscape of a country. They have a wider reach and a better chance of winning elections. However, they also face challenges such as maintaining unity across different states and regions. Nevertheless, they play a crucial role in shaping the future of a nation.

The Congress party won only one seat in the state whereas the NCP won five seats from its stronghold of western Maharashtra. In November 2019 after a month of political drama, the NCP came back into power at the state level as part of a coalition formed between Shiv Sena, the Congress and NCP.
Read the given extract and answer the questions that the follows:In some countries, power usually changes between two main parties. Several other parties may exist, contest elections and win a few seats in the national legislatures. But only the two main parties have a serious chance of winning majority of seats to form government. Such a party system is called two party system. The United States of America and the United Kingdom are examples of two-party system. If several parties compete for power, and more than two parties have a reasonable chance of coming to power either on their own strength or in alliance with others, we call it a multi party system. Thus, in India, we have a multi party system. In this system, the government is formed by various parties coming together in a coalition. When several parties in a multi-party system join hands for the purpose of contesting elections and winning power, it is called an alliance or a front. For example, in India there were three such major alliances in 2004 parliamentary elections– the National Democratic Alliance, the United Progressive Alliance and the Left Front. The multiparty system often appears very messy and leads to political instability. At the same time, this system allows a variety of interests and opinions to enjoy political representation.Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate options:Q.

Coachify answered |
The answer to the question "Which of these is not a good option for a democratic state?" is option A: One-party system.
Explanation:
A one-party system is not a good option for a democratic state because it limits political diversity and can lead to authoritarian rule. Here are the reasons why a one-party system is not suitable for a democratic state:
1. Lack of political competition: In a one-party system, there is only one political party that holds power. This eliminates the possibility of alternative viewpoints and limits political competition. A healthy democracy thrives on the competition of ideas and multiple parties representing different interests.
2. Lack of checks and balances: Without multiple political parties, there is a lack of checks and balances on the ruling party. This can lead to a concentration of power and potential abuse of authority, undermining democratic principles.
3. Suppression of dissent: One-party systems often suppress dissent and opposition, limiting freedom of speech and expression. Opposition parties and independent voices are either marginalized or suppressed, hindering the ability of citizens to hold the government accountable.
4. Limited representation: A one-party system may not adequately represent the diverse interests and opinions of the population. Without multiple parties, there is a risk of excluding minority groups and their concerns from the political process.
5. Lack of transparency and accountability: In the absence of a strong opposition, the ruling party may not be held accountable for its actions. Transparency and accountability are essential for a democratic state to ensure that the government serves the interests of the people.
In conclusion, a one-party system is not a good option for a democratic state as it restricts political diversity, limits checks and balances, suppresses dissent, hinders representation, and undermines transparency and accountability. A multi-party system, on the other hand, allows for a wider range of perspectives, fosters healthy competition, and promotes a more inclusive and robust democracy.

Read the given extract and answer the questions that follows:Democracies that follow a federal system all over the world tend to have two kinds of political parties: parties that are present in only one of the federal units and parties that are present in several or all units of the federation.

One of the key measures introduced by the Supreme Court to diminish the impact of money and criminals in elections is the requirement for every election candidate to submit an affidavit detailing their property and any pending criminal cases against them. This initiative aims to increase transparency and provide the public with essential information about the candidates. By making this information accessible, voters can make more informed decisions during elections.

Political parties in a democratic system primarily function by putting forward different policies and programs for the voters to choose from. This process helps in grouping a large number of diverse opinions into a few basic positions, providing a direction for policy formulation by the government. By contesting elections, parties seek popular support to execute their proposed policies and programs, ultimately influencing the governance of a country.

The correct option is D.
The functions political parties perform in a democracy are:
1) Candidates are put forward by parties to contest in elections. These candidates may be chosen by the members of the party or by the leaders of the party.
2) Parties put forward different policies and programmes and the voters choose from them.
3) Parties play an important role in making laws for a country. Laws are usually debated and passed in the legislature.
4) Parties form and run governments. They recruit leaders and train them to be ministers and run the government in the way they want it.
5) Parties that lose the election form the opposition. The opposition voices different views and criticizes the failures of the government.
6) Parties shape public opinion. They have lakhs of members all over the country, and they play a great role in influencing the way people think.
7) Parties provide the common man access to government machinery and welfare schemes. It is easier for a person to meet a local party leader than a government official.

Strong Support of CPI (M) in West Bengal
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) or CPI (M) has a strong presence in West Bengal, which is often referred to as the party's "bastion." The roots of the party in West Bengal can be traced back to the 1940s and 1950s when the Communist Party of India (CPI) was gaining ground in the state.
Historical Context
The CPI (M) emerged as a breakaway faction from the CPI in 1964. The party's ideology is rooted in Marxist principles, and it advocates for a socialist revolution in India. In West Bengal, the CPI (M) has been in power for most of the period since 1977, except for a brief period in the late 2000s when the Trinamool Congress (TMC) won the state elections.
Factors Contributing to CPI (M)’s Stronghold in West Bengal
1. Agrarian Unrest: One of the key factors contributing to the CPI (M)'s stronghold in West Bengal is the strong agrarian unrest in the state. The party has been able to mobilize farmers and agricultural workers against landlords and capitalists, and has garnered support from the rural population as a result.
2. Labor Unions: The CPI (M) has also been successful in organizing and mobilizing labor unions in the state. The party has a strong presence in the trade unions of various industries, including jute, tea, and coal.
3. Education and Culture: The party has also been active in promoting education and culture in the state. The CPI (M) has set up schools, colleges, and cultural centers in various parts of the state, which has helped it to gain support from the educated middle class.
4. Welfare Programs: The CPI (M) has also implemented various welfare programs for the poor and marginalized sections of society, including landless farmers, tribal communities, and women. This has helped the party to gain support from these sections of society.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the CPI (M) enjoys strong support in West Bengal due to a combination of factors, including agrarian unrest, labor unions, education and culture, and welfare programs. The party's stronghold in the state has helped it to remain a major political force in India.

Partisanship is marked by a strong commitment to a party, group, or faction, and it involves a tendency to take a side rather than maintaining a balanced view. In political contexts, individuals exhibiting partisanship are inclined to support their chosen party's policies and positions without necessarily considering alternative viewpoints.

Anjana Tiwari answered |
Understanding Party Allegiance Changes
Changing party allegiance refers to the act of elected representatives, specifically Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of Legislative Assemblies (MLAs), switching from the political party on which they were elected to another party. This practice is commonly known as "defection."
Why Option 'B' is Correct
- Involvement of Both MPs and MLAs: The correct answer, option 'B', indicates that both MPs and MLAs have historically engaged in changing party allegiance. This behavior was prevalent as many representatives sought personal gain, such as ministerial positions or financial incentives.
- Constitutional Context: The amendment to the Constitution aimed to curb this practice by imposing penalties on elected representatives who defected. Under this law, any MP or MLA who changes parties forfeits their seat, which underscores that both categories of elected officials were involved in such defections.
Impact of Defection
- Reduction in Defection: The new law significantly reduced instances of defection, but it came at the cost of suppressing dissent within parties. MPs and MLAs often feel compelled to align with party decisions to avoid losing their positions.
- Challenges of Reform: While the law has curtailed defection, it has not fully resolved issues related to internal democracy within parties or the influence of money and criminal elements in politics.
In conclusion, the practice of changing party allegiance was not limited to MLAs or MPs but involved both. The measures taken to address defection have had mixed results, highlighting the complexities of political reform in the country.

Understanding Trust in Political Parties in India
Trust in political parties is a significant indicator of the health of a democracy. In India, the trend has been complex, and recent observations suggest noteworthy insights.
Current Trust Levels
- Trust in political parties has been a contentious issue in India, often fluctuating with electoral cycles and political events.
- Compared to many advanced countries, trust in political parties in India remains relatively higher. This can be attributed to the deep-rooted cultural and historical connections between the electorate and political entities.
Factors Contributing to Trust
- Cultural Context: Indian political parties often have strong grassroots connections, with leaders being seen as representatives of their communities. This local representation fosters a sense of belonging and trust.
- Electoral Engagement: High voter turnout in elections illustrates that citizens are actively participating in the political process, reflecting a level of trust in the system, even if individual parties may be viewed with skepticism.
Challenges to Trust
- Despite the relatively higher trust compared to advanced nations, there are challenges such as corruption, governance issues, and political polarization that can undermine this trust over time.
- The perception of political parties being disconnected from the common man’s issues can lead to disillusionment, even if trust levels remain comparatively stable.
Conclusion
In conclusion, while trust in political parties in India may be higher than in many advanced countries, it is essential to recognize the underlying challenges that persist. Continuous engagement and reform are vital for enhancing this trust in the long run.

Read the given extract and answer the questions that the follows:In some countries, power usually changes between two main parties. Several other parties may exist, contest elections and win a few seats in the national legislatures. But only the two main parties have a serious chance of winning majority of seats to form government. Such a party system is called two party system. The United States of America and the United Kingdom are examples of two-party system. If several parties compete for power, and more than two parties have a reasonable chance of coming to power either on their own strength or in alliance with others, we call it a multi party system. Thus, in India, we have a multi party system. In this system, the government is formed by various parties coming together in a coalition. When several parties in a multi-party system join hands for the purpose of contesting elections and winning power, it is called an alliance or a front. For example, in India there were three such major alliances in 2004 parliamentary elections– the National Democratic Alliance, the United Progressive Alliance and the Left Front. The multiparty system often appears very messy and leads to political instability. At the same time, this system allows a variety of interests and opinions to enjoy political representation.Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate options:Q.

Defection is an act of changing party allegiance from the party on which a person got elected (to a Legislative body) to a different party. Earlier it has been an important cause for the formation as well as fall of government. MLAs and MPs were indulging in defection in order to become ministers or for cash rewards. Later on the Constitution was amended and defection has been banned by passing ‘Anti Defection Law’.

- The party wins at least 3% of the total seats in the Legislative Assembly of a state or at least 3 seats in the Assembly, whichever is higher.
